Re: Volvo 850 GLT - Complete steering failure

Just came back from the shop as I handed them the tie rods and asked for new front tires, but they told me that it would be useless to change the tie rods as my ball joints are completely worn out. So he just put new tires on, no alignment, and asked me to come back for an alignment once I worked on...

Re: Volvo 850 GLT - Complete steering failure

Just called the dealership armed with my SN, because there wasn't any numbers on the 5th row of the ID plate, and found out that I am in fact TRW. Ordering the part from eEuroparts, then I'll keep you posted on the repairs as soon as they arrive. By the way... any experience on the manufacturers of ...

Re: Volvo 850 GLT - Complete steering failure

EDIT: Forget about this last post, found how to determine that.

So looking for some new inner and outer tie rods. One question - what is the difference between TRW and SMI rods, and which one am I supposed to have? Or can I just buy either?

Thanks again guys.

Re: Volvo 850 GLT - Complete steering failure

Just checked on the car during break - the inner side of the front driver's tire is completely worn out (I mean steel mesh poking through), never realized until now (damn). Wear on the right driver's side looks normal, but there is more wear on both sides of the tires than the middle per se. Any ide...

I drive back to work this morning, and on the last turn, again, something happens - I almost lose control as there was complete failure of my steering. For the last 3 months, my ca...

Re: Volvo 850 1996 GLT - Odometer and speedometer stopped

I replaced my PNP a month ago and went through the air cleaner base too, as well as before cleaning up the PCV and IAC... I'm actually lucky I didn't break that part the first two times. Thanks for the heads up, and hope you got that fixed. Just ordered the fix from Matt... excited for it to come. I...

Re: Volvo 850 1996 GLT - Odometer and speedometer stopped

Thanks a lot! I just needed to know if it was an ABS module problem or a odometer gear problem... just sent a message to Matty Moo on his ABS module repair site to get a shipping quote to Canada, now waiting for his reply.

Thanks again, now this should be a jiffy to fix.

Volvo 850 1996 GLT - Odometer and speedometer stopped

Hello everyone, first of all thanks for all the tips that this board has given me, but now I just arrived at work and encountered an issue that I need to fix asap. So basically, on the last 500m on my way to work, the odometer AND speedometer just spontaneously stopped working. Both just... aren't r...
